mean to us!

L. In the rising of the morning sun, the Holy speaks:
P. You are my children. Shine!
L. In the greening of the Earth and blooming of creation, the Holy speaks:
P. You are my children. Grow!
L. In the mountains reaching toward the sky, the Holy speaks:
P. You are my children. Stand with strength!
L. In the darkness of the winter days, the Holy speaks:
P. You are my children. Trust!
L. In the presence of the skies that float above us and the assurance of the Earth beneath us. And with the calm of the Spirit within us, the Holy speaks:
P. You are my children. Live!
